Since we talked about comfort items last week, today we’re going to be going back to some of the basics. Last week it was suggested that we look for items of comfort; i.e., stuffed animals, soft and small blankets, comfort food, etc. Today we’re going to focus on blankets of another sort.

Emergency Blankets

The pack of 10 pictured above can be purchased at Amazon.com. Many times you can find these on sale at hardware stores and grocery stores for around $1 each, so they’re not a huge expense.

Along the same lines, if you feel that you’d like to add something more “hardy” to your kit, you can always check out Emergency Sleeping Bags. Same basic concept as the blanket, but a little bigger to allow you to wrap yourself completely up in it.
